Re: Capturing multiple select with Javascript - nearly ther

Many thanks for your reply, I will add the bugs site to my list of things to search before posting here! As I am putting the code onto a number of servers where I can't control the PHP settings, I will need to devise a work around. Good to know it's not my poor coding. Phoebe. Mike Ford wrote:

-----Original Message----- From: Phoebe Bright [mailto:phoebebright@spamcop.net] Sent: 19 November 2002 14:20 My remaining problem is that the array that PHP sees only has the final few characters of the values it should have. This is the result of print_r after selecting two items (analysis1 and analysis3): Array ( [0] => ysis1 [1] => ysis3 ) expecting: Array ( [0] => analysis1 [1] => analysis3 )

Known bug. A quick search of http://bugs.php.net/ for "character cut off form array" reveals half a dozen reports for this, of which this is probably the most informative: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19518. Basically, you need to configure PHP without --enable-mbstr-enc-trans (or install 4.3.0RC1, if that's acceptable for you). Cheers!
